sue sue sue my fiberglass pool popped out of the ground and that what i did. but first let me tell you be prepared to spend lots and lots of money, have lots of time more than you can imagine, and put a strain on your job and family, almost put you into bankrupcy, five years of my life and just receive enough money to cover the cost of replacement. be prepaired

not only is it possible i watched it happen in my backyard. i had a fiberglass pool installed in my backyard in the summer of 1998. it took the pool installer all summer to install it so it was not used by my family that year at all. the instalation was compleated and the pool was closed for the winter. the next spring it was opened and used by my 4 sons. everything seemed fine except i had to add water to my pool with water almost everyday. the pool company was contacted they came out and told me it was because of the splashing of the water by my 4 sons. i told him i had to put water in my pool even on days that my sons did not swim in it. he told me not to worry. the pool was closed that fall by the same pool company that installed it. the spring of 2000 the same pool company again was called to open it but i was bumped twice on my opening so the crew could open friends of the owner of the pool company. i hired a 2nd pool company to open my pool and 1 week later my pool was 18" out of the ground. i called both pool companys and they both told me it was the other guys fault. so 5 years later and many court apperances i finally won. my advice to anyone that is looking at a fiberglass pool don't do it. i had it replaced with a gunite pool and it is a better quality pool and i am much happier with this one than the fiberglass pool.
